Special Features
- The SUB2000 CQB (SUB2K9GLKBLKCQB) features Kel-Tec's integrally suppressed barrel system, engineered as a complete unit where the suppressor and barrel are one assembly rather than an add-on, delivering a tightly integrated design optimized for balance, sound mitigation, and feeding reliability
- The CQB name stands for Carbine Quiet Barrel, a reference to the platform's core design goal of quiet 9mm operation using the full 16.25 inches of barrel length as an efficient suppression system
- The Gen3 SUB2000 rotating forend allows the carbine to fold completely in half even with an optic mounted, a feature unique to this platform that makes it one of the most compact storable suppressed carbines on the market
- The suppressor baffles are fully user serviceable, the rotating forend locks in place over the baffles and is secured by a removable end cap, allowing the shooter to remove, clean, and reassemble the suppressor without sending it to a gunsmith
- The Glock 19 grip configuration provides broad magazine compatibility with the extensive Glock 9mm magazine ecosystem, and the included Magpul Glock 17 magazine with Kel-Tec sleeve delivers an optimized factory fit right out of the box
- Optics ready design with integrated Picatinny rail sections supports combat lights, red dots, and other accessories without requiring additional hardware
Practical Benefits
- The Kel-Tec SUB2000 CQB in 9mm is purpose built for home defense users who want a compact, quiet, and easy to maneuver long gun that stores in a backpack, vehicle, or nightstand and deploys quickly when needed
- When paired with subsonic 9mm ammunition, the integrally suppressed barrel delivers dramatically reduced noise output that makes indoor or enclosed space use far more practical than a standard unsuppressed carbine
- The folding design collapses to just 16.25 inches, making it small enough to store in a standard backpack or soft case, giving hunters, pilots, outdoorsmen, and emergency preparedness minded buyers a capable 9mm carbine in an extremely compact package
- Glock magazine compatibility means any shooter already running a Glock 17, 19, or similar 9mm pistol can standardize their carbine and handgun on the same magazine platform, simplifying logistics at home, in the field, or on the range
- The factory integral suppressor eliminates the need to purchase and fit an aftermarket suppressor can, delivering a complete, ready to run suppressed system as designed and warranted by the manufacturer
The Kel-Tec SUB2000 CQB (SUB2K9GLKBLKCQB) chambered in 9mm is a capable tool for home defenders, tactical shooters, and backcountry users who want a fully integrated suppressed folding carbine that stores small, deploys fast, and runs on the most widely available pistol caliber magazine platform in the country.
